Ingredients

• 12 oz Bow tie pasta (farfalle)
• 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 1.5 cups Heavy cream
• 1 cup Chicken broth
• 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 tsp Italian seasoning
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 1 cup Cherry tomatoes, halved
• 2 cups Fresh spinach leaves
• 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the bow tie pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Step 2

While the pasta cooks, season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.

Step 3

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 5-6 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and fully cooked through. Remove from skillet and let rest on a cutting board. Slice into thin strips when slightly cooled.

Step 4

In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium and add the minced garlic. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

Step 5

Add the chicken broth to the skillet, scraping any browned bits from the pan with a wooden spoon. Let it simmer for 2 minutes.

Step 6

Pour in the heavy cream and stir to combine. Allow the mixture to simmer for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened.

Step 7

Stir in the Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, and black pepper. Mix well until the cheese is melted and the sauce is creamy.

Step 8

Add the halved cherry tomatoes and spinach to the sauce. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the spinach is wilted and the tomatoes are softened.

Step 9

Return the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss to coat it evenly in the sauce.

Step 10

Gently fold in the sliced chicken and let everything warm through for 2 minutes.

Step 11

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately.
